Its step 3 that is the killer. I'm always checking and replying to email. By
default my browser is open to gmail - replying to a post here on ScrumDev is
only a few keystrokes. In addition I can monitor all of my lists in one
glance.

On ther hand I only ever go to forum based groups when I have a specific
question to ask. I ask it and get out. It would be sad to miss the
discussions and tips for MLO. But if it moves to a forum I really won't come
by very often.

Basically if I have to change browser tabs then there had better be a good
reason.

Did that help?

Cheers
Mark
